📢※ The iPhone SE4 was rumored to be the successor to the iPhone SE (3rd generation), but Apple officially announced the iPhone 16e, a new smartphone that will be a cheaper version of the iPhone 16, on February 19, 2025 (February 20, Japan time).

Release date: late February 2025?

According to multiple sources, a 2024 release is highly unlikely.
The iPhone SE4 is expected to be released in spring 2025 at the earliest.
One reason is that the iPhone SE 4th generation is expected to be based on the iPhone 14 series, so considering Apple's sales strategy, it is unlikely that the current iPhone 14 series and the iPhone SE 4th generation based on the iPhone 14 will be released on the market at the same time. After all, it would be a wise sales strategy to release the iPhone SE 4th generation after the iPhone 14 model has become widely known.
"The iPhone SE 4 features a high-quality appearance and a larger display size not seen in previous SE series models, and appears to look similar to the iPhone 14."

Is the iPhone SE 4 based on the iPhone 14?
Image Translation: The Action button is a user-configurable button above the volume buttons that was first introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro, replacing the mute switch. Current information suggests that Apple intends to make the Action button standard on all iPhone 16 models, and that it will eventually be included in the iPhone SE4. Current development of the fourth-generation iPhone SE suggests a possible release date of 2025.
Additionally, according to leaked information from the US, the reason it cannot be released in 2024 is because there are rumors that the fourth-generation iPhone SE will reuse the "action button" found on the iPhone 16. It's highly likely that the release of the fourth-generation iPhone SE will be postponed until 2025 so as not to affect the sales plans for the new iPhones that are customarily released around September each year.
SE series release date trends
Looking at the release trends for the SE series, the release dates for the iPhone SE models already on sale are concentrated in March and April.
iPhone SE 1st generation: March 24, 2016iPhone SE 2nd generation: April 24, 2020
iPhone SE 3rd generation: March 18, 2022
iPhone SE 4th generation: March-April 2025?
(Latest information: Announcement in the third week of February 2025, release in late February?)
Considering the predicted design of the new SE4, it is unlikely that the fourth-generation iPhone SE, which is expected to adopt the iPhone 16's action button, will be released in the spring of 2024.
It's unclear whether the iPhone SE 4th generation will even be released. There are rumors that Apple is developing a foldable iPhone, so it's possible that a new iPhone SE won't be released. If they do decide to release a foldable iPhone, releasing the iPhone SE 4th generation would be inconsistent, so it's unlikely that the foldable iPhone and the iPhone SE 4th generation will be released at the same time.

Also, since Apple is focusing on MagSafe, if the iPhone SE 4th generation did not support wireless charging, it would be said to be lagging behind the current trend of ever-evolving charging styles.
